However, it is a) terribly slow as compared to the other two mentioned above, b) has no multi-color coding for quick overview, c) breaks longer texts into multiple pages that you have to click through, and d) you can't quickly edit one or both of your texts and redo the comparison with the edited texts.

Also, you can click on text passages and it will highlight the respective passage in the other text. Both with Chrome and Firefox, this does not seem to work properly.Ĭ seems to be even more sophisticated since it at least tries to detect similarity also when there are small differences like for example OCR errors. Vroniplag even lets you copy the results including all the color highlighting into Word, however only if the comparison is done with Internet Explorer.
